Gun and gear reviews Misleading Claims

What are some of the misleading claims that you have heard from firearm manufacturers/hunting gear brands and hunting/shooting influencers?

Wondering because I often see ads for hunting rifles or shotguns being overhyped or just in the most unrealistic of situations. Or another example would be MDT's HNT26 chassis (I'm not hating on MDT, yes I have bought products from them) but I find it just unnecessary to pay that much for a chassis to do the same job that a Tikka T3x light or a pencil barrel Mauser would do.

I want to hear your thoughts.

The Marlin 1895SBL is not recommended for hunting T-Rex's, and there is no way they fact checked it before making that claim.

Did Chris Pratt ever fire his 1895SBL in the first Jurassic World?

I can't distinctly remember, but I'm sure he had to have used it at the end?

All I know is that 45-70 will take out any living thing in NA and Europe.
